Born: June 16, 1971
Died: September 13, 1996Tupac Shakur, unlikely martyr of gangsta rap, may have died from “respiratory failure and cardiopulmonary arrest in connection with multiple gunshot wounds,” but he was still smoking days after he was cremated—some of his ashes were later mixed with marijuana and smoked by members of his band.
